Happy Birthday TITO!!!!

Today is the mambo master’s birthday, good ole Tito Puente. WW2 veteran, honorary doctorate holder, and closer of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Tito’s musical life spanned over half a century. That’s a lot of good times had by all, especially by him who seemed to be boundless in energy and joy in his performances, influencing countless others including Sheila E and Carlos Santana (Tito originally wrote “Oye Como Va”).

Today, let’s raise a glass to this man who’s life and exploits makes others pale in comparison. For today’s drink we will have………….The mambo.
